Thanks, but you only addressed one of the three suggestions I made;
would you mind re-opening the PR and/or making the following two
further changes?
o If chroot indeed can only be run by the super-user, this should
be properly documented, for example:
"This command can be run only by the super-user."
o "exec's command" should most probably read "exec's command relative
to newroot".
